Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of the use of the peer teaching strategy as a method to improve reading comprehension skills for the fourth-grade students who have learning difficulties.

to achieve this, the strategy was applied to a sample of (3) students with reading disabilities who had a problem understanding the reading material in a school in al-Zahira governorate, sultanate of Oman.

each student from the sample was assigned a friend with a high academic level, who were trained on what to do to know the effectiveness of this strategy.

and to measure the level of progress, the multiple baseline design was used across individuals, and the results showed a clear improvement among the sample students in the answers to the reading comprehension questions in the reading book pieces for the fourth grade after applying the peer teaching strategy, as well as the students’ improvement in the level of their participation in the regular class.

that is when the reading subject teacher discusses the content of the texts and requests the answers, by increasing the number of correct answers after reading the text in the classroom, which led to an improvement in the motivation of the participating students, because of their understanding of the read material.

the researcher recommends the need to use the strategy of peer teaching with students with learning difficulties, and students of the normal class
